Life continues to rush by at an alarming pace, despite the best intentions of my last post about taking time
to slow down. But this morning I
took a moment to pause and I stumbled upon an interesting report by the UK
group Family
Action.
I am a self-professed Grinch when it comes to consumerism
during the holidays (my poor family knows this well). That is why I was
heartened to see this report. Apart
from my usual rant about consuming less to help preserve what is left
of our environment (as David Suzuki put it "A
strong economy is important, but the biosphere is more important."), it
would seem that presents are not the most important thing to kids during the
holidays (despite what the adds would have us believe).
Now if I only liked cooking a bit better ... Well, we can
always make cookies. And in the spirit of “everyone is different” perhaps my
contribution could be getting everyone out for a holiday hike!
